“After numerous discussions with league officials and the Lane Regional Air Protection Agency, we determined that this was the best course of action, as weather reports expected things to improve on Wednesday,” said Allan Benavides, General Manager for the Emeralds. “Safety is always our first priority, and we are pleased that the air quality improved to allow us to host tonight’s Game 1 at PK Park.”

The teams meet at 7:05 p.m. at PK Park in Eugene.

Then they'll meet again Thursday and Friday in Games 2 and 3 of the series, scheduled for Hillsboro.
